ARC BOG meeting

I stayed on at Cloudcroft after the SDSS-V Advisory Council meeting for the ARC Board of Governors meeting, which is the meeting of the organization that runs the Apache Point Observatory. I spent a lot of the meeting learning about the 3.5m and the site, which was interesting, and which made me think about how we apportion our resources in astronomy. These are huge facilities, run very lean (money wise), and they produce a lot of science. The SDSS family of projects has had simply immense scientific impact.

One success of the meeting: I have successfully coined and propagated the term SDSS Classic to mean SDSS-I and SDSS-II. Multiple people at the meeting now use this terminology!
